Mozilla Releases Firefox 3.6.4, Complete with Crash Protection

Linux users don't have to worry about third-party plugins killing the browser.

The Mozilla Project released Firefox 3.6.4, a security and bug-fixing release with one notable feature for Linux and Windows users –– enhanced crash protection.

Firefox 3.6.4 isolates third-party plugin processes and disables them whenever a plugin crashes. This allows for continued browsing without having to restart the browser. To reset a plugin error, users simply have to reset the page. Firefox 3.6.4 identifies and isolates plugin crashes in Adobe Flash, Apple Quicktime and Microsoft Silverlight.
